Beschreibung

London. Jonathan Cape. 2016. First Edition/First Printing (full number line including the number 1 on the copyright page). Hard Cover. Demy 8to (8¾" by 5⅝") (221 mm x 142 mm). 199 pp. Pale pink blush boards with black titles to the spine. Minor push at the spine head and lower corners are very slightly knocked. All edges pale pink. Jacket spine is a little sunned and has some minor edge wear. A little damage to the signed by the author sticker. Flat signed by the author without dedication to the half title. Book is near fine; jacket is very good. Nutshell is a classic story of murder and deceit, told by a narrator with a perspective and voice unlike any in recent literature. To be bound in a nutshell, see the world in two inches of ivory, in a grain of sand. Why not, when all of literature, all of art, of human endeavour, is just a speck in the universe of possible things?

Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Trudy has betrayed her husband, John. She's still in the marital home - a dilapidated, priceless London townhouse - but not with John. Instead, she's with his brother, the profoundly banal Claude, and the two of them have a plan. But there is a witness to their plot: the inquisitive, nine-month-old resident of Trudy's womb. Told from a perspective unlike any other, Nutshell is a classic tale of murder and deceit from one of the world's master storytellers.
